INDIA WANTS HOME RULE.
Continued From First Page.)


speech of Moulvi Syed Shurfuddio "a
barrister- at law and landholder:) 'sIt is
almost needless to say that, as natives
of India, we are better versed in the
manners and customs. the ideas and
convictions, the wants and wishes of
our people who have a real knowledge
of our habits and customs; bY people
who understand us, who are of us-not
by foreigners and strangers, who how
ever good their will, lack that intimate
sympathy with, which is essential if
their measures are to command any
thing like the approval and unanimous
assent Of the country" We are sure,
says the Nation in conclusion. that the
for Home Rule in India that
is thus SO strenuously supported will
have the most cordial sympathy from
the people Of Ireland, who are at length
approaching the hour of their own en-
fran nchiSement.

Saltwater Democrat William Moo
nan, one of the firm OF Noonan Bros,
who run blacksmith shop on Second
street south, will wager $50 that with
the help of one man he can turn out
more perfect horse shoes in one hour
than any other man in the city, with the
aid of a helper.
Saltwater Democrat: The O'Neal
Bros, contractors on the Third street
work, are just rushing things and the
street is becoming terror to loaded
teams. AS the bitter must always go
with the sweet, those who are incon-
venienced thereby can console them
selves with the thought that when the
work is finally completed that most im-
portant thoroughfare will be in a very
fine state with as good a grade as the
circumstances will permit. Then let
the street railway company lay their
rails and there will be nothing more to
desire so far as that street is concerned.

While dashing furiously along I sud-
denly felt myself sink into the earth
up to my arm-pits. AT the same in
stant l heard down in the ground the
shriels of human beings-wemen and
children. / felt hands clutch at my
legs and naked human bodies pressing
against them. 7 uttered no sound-I
was too much frightened I held my
breath and shrank within myself.
Every instant expected to feel knife
OK spear thrust into my body. Ny
teet were on the ground, and without
knowing what was doing, I gave s.
strong push with my breast Finding
that something was giving way, I
plunged forward and up steep slope
of two or three feet, when found my
self bounding like deer across the
level meadow with a great contriyance
Of basket-work suspended from my
hips and extending yard or more ON
all sides Hooked for all the world as
if I had donned a huge hooped
skirt. While making q rnomentary
halt, in order to disengage myself from
the singular uaehine hanging upon
me, cast my eyes backward and saw
an ola woman and three Or four naked
childrcd scrambling out of the hole
from which 1 had just made my escape.
Yelling at the top of their voices, they
dashed away as fast as their legs would
carry them, making for the nearest
hills. BY the time had pushed my
basket skirt down to my heels and
stepped out of it, I saw a dozen or
more black heads emerging from the
earth in my immediate neighborhood.
Seeing the shaggy heads popping up
all about ne, I darted away at q pace
that must truly have astonished the
natives I think I must have left the
village at least five miles behind before
halted. T. then threw myself upon
the ground too much exhausted to
sven load my gun.
"3Vas it one of their houses you had
jumped into, unclc?'' here asked a
small boy, who had been listening with

Eyes, boy, the roof OF one of their
huts. You see these miserable root
digging, frog eating devils live in holes
dug in the ground, just like SO many
woodchucks. They make kind OF
basketwork dome Of willow, which
they place over the hole and cover with
grass and earth by way of roof and in
hot weather they sometimes strew this
roof with green leaves as an additional
protection from the heat of the sun.
The one into whichI plunged was SO
covered, and the framework being old
and rotten popped through it easily
enough. Salt Lake Tribune.

EFFECTS OF SNOW.

TIaU Powerful Infauoace Which It's Prea"
ence Exerts Upon the Climate.
The masses of snow and ice known
as glaciers, which are found upon high
mountains, have been the object OF
many studies; and it is a matter to be
wondered at that the same has not
been the case with the immense beds
Of snow that every winter cover parts
Of Europe, Asia and America to disap-
pear in the following spring. 1t has
perEapa been thought that the latter
have less influence upon climate in
general than upon other more special
phenomena. But the observations that
follow will tend to show that this inh1l-
ence exists, and the subject is one well
worthy to be studied.
A bed Of snow covering the ground
acts as bad nduetor, and renders
the exchange of temperature between
the surface of she ground and the lower
strt,sum of the atmosphere slower than
it would be if the snow were absent.
This is result of the porous structure
Of snow, the interspaces Of which are
filled with air. In this matter the con-
dit;on of the snow is Of considerable i'm
portance; the minute crystals formed
by cold are poorer conductors than
the larger fakes; but if the snow by
alternate thawing and freezing as
sumes the form called ,aeve, it becomes
q much better conductor of heat.
Farmers in countries that enjoy cold
winters are we'll aware of the protect
i've nature of the snow-covering, and
do not fear for their grain when it is
thick.
The presence Of snow thus assures a
higher temperature to the upper layer
of the soil than it would otherwise
have, and its thickness is an equally
important factor with its structure.
But its effect on the air is different, for
it separates the air from the warmth
which without its presence would
escape from the ground. Snow also
exercises an important influence
through its power Of radiation, which
lis dependent on it's whiteness and the
extent Of its surface, but; in which thick,
ness is not factor Woeiko6, IN

Ashland.

Special Correspondence Of The Irish Standard.
Perhaps one of the most favored spots
to-day in the Northwest with regard to q
prosperous volume OF trade is the city
of Ashland, Wis. 1t is the metropolis
of Northwestern Wisconsin. The city
is situated on CheGuamegan Bay, and is
an important lake port.
One of the most pleasant things in
connection with Ashland is it's beautiful
location. Look out on the bay when
you may and you will see the proud
steamer or schooner, which
Full to the breeze she unbosoms her sail,
And her pe,anou streams onward like Hope on the
gale;
Onward she glides amid ripple and spray
Over the waters, away and away"
In railroad facilities Ashland is not be-
hind the other cities Of the Northwest.
It has two lines-the Chicago, st. Paul,
MINNEAPOLIS and Omaha and the Wis
consin Central.
It will thus be seen that Ashland has
9 great future before her. Besides the
commerce which she secures by being q
lake port city she has many other natu-
ral advantages. Her resources, in fact,
might be said to be infinite. Her bust
ness men are Of g superior class
Harrison the Tailor has branch store here that
is doing large clothing trade and is under the
management of James A. Carley, who for q num-
Der of years has been in the employ of the Min
neapolis House.
Ashland has very large Irish population and a
handsome Catholic Church is now nearing COM
pletion, which when completed will be a credit
to the Catholics of this city.
The Catholic Knights are strong in Ashland
having a membership exceeding fifty.
Among the prominent Irishmen of this
city might be mentioned the following :
Jerry Sullivan, the peoples fayorite postmaster,
and thorough Democrat, appointed under the
Cleveland administration
N. McDermott, insurance. real estate, ETC., is a
member of the G. X. of A.. and is a gentleman OF
whom it can be said it is pleasure to meet.
J.R. NcNeill is another thorough lrishman who
is the proprietor Of one of the best hotels in tha
city, the "Commercial." !"
Mike Conley who has just accepted the chal-
lenge of John P Glow, is also a resident OF Ash
land. It is believed by many that Conley will
easily knock OUT Glow,
Miller, the Photographer, Of Minneapolis, is
doing rushing business in this city.

One of the greatest sensations and
public scandals that ever happened in
our town occurred last week in the
elopement of the Rev. Symon, minister
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
with the young wife of Mr.. John A.
Henry, the popular and genial editor of
the GAINESVILLE Argus. Symon came here
last fall and created quite sensation
since as preacher and singer. He is
au Englishman and worked in the coal
mines in that country before he became
a Methodist preacher. Mrs. Henry is
just M and all auburn, little proposes
sing. She leaves two children and a
fortunate husband to muse o}er her de-
parJure. MIR. Preacher left wife sick
and utterly destitute, surrounded with
five helpless children. A more heartless
deed has never happened in this com.
munity. It is the first fruits of the re-
cent Waseca camp meeting. We all
sympathize with Mr.. Henry, who is
held in high esteem. 1t is supposed
Symon has gone to England with his
prey, but Mr.. Henry and two brothers
of the lady absconder are in pursuit.

LIGHTS AT THE RYAN.

A misunderstanding Over the
Contracts That Is Causing Some
Annoyance.
For some time past Col. McClaskey, of
the RYAN, has been making arrange
mentS to dispense with the use of gas
in the hotel by the substitution of cleo
trio lights in all of the rooms. Mr.. Gro
zier, of the Edison company, visited St.
Paul in connection with the matter and
= few DAYS ago a contract was made
Hith his company to furnish the illu-
mipating power for the hotel. But a
complication was threatened when the
St. Paul Gas company appeared on tue
scene with contract which called for
a five wears supply of gas SOr the Ryan,
the document having been made tritie
over wear ago. This was news to Col.
McClaSkey. who stated that when
he leased the hotel, although
nroyision was made, among
other things. for the heating of
the offices in the Ryan and the Bank
of Minnesota buildings, nothing was
mentioned ABOUT gas contract. and he
did not consider himself bound to carry
out contract made by his predeteS-
sOr in the control OF the hotel. 1t had
probably escaped Mr.. Ryan memory
at the time of the transfer, but
he did not blame the gas com
pany at all since an abrogatiOn of the
contract meant to them loss of GUS
toner that was worth $1,000 or $1,000
yearly. When Mr.. Ryan'S attention
was called to this matter last evening,
he said that while he might not have
expressly stipulated in writing that
such a contract existed, he had done so
verbally. and said at the time that it
was his opinion that the low rates given
by the gas company could not be sue
cessfully competed with by the electric
light peODIe,
